Feature Story: Career opportunities in the voluntary/nonprofit sector

Abstract:

Students considering job opportunities in the voluntary sector have received a big boost. Luther College’s Voluntary Sector Studies Network has been awarded a grant worth nearly $210,000 from the Community Initiatives Fund, a program administered by the Provincial Government’s Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport. “This funding is huge,” says Dr. Gloria DeSantis, Voluntary Sector Studies Network Facilitator. “It will enable us to realize our priorities of community outreach, research and curriculum development including a new undergraduate certificate. The certificate is our top priority as Saskatchewan has not offered any post-secondary programs in the voluntary sector until now.”
